What the heck is that all about?

I also think that it is interesting that they call it "Tablet grade resolution". While that may be true, I have yet to view an e-ink screen of any variety by any manufacturer that really floored me. And yet, this happened to me with the current generation of LCD screens.

Just anecdotal, I know, but still.
Their previous screen was pearl. This one is carta. Other than that, who knows. Btw, I think the pw2 also has a funky unusual resolution.

Apple alone sold 50 million iphone in q4 2013. Now many eink readers have been sold ever? The amount of r and d money in lcd dwarfs that of eink. Eink may also have reached its limit.
